Oregon Lottery plans to present its proposed 2027 retailer contract to the Commission on 20 November 2026. If approved in December, the contract would retain current commission rates and set monthly network fees from 27 June 2027 at $175 for traditional retailers, $475 for video retailers and $500 for retailers offering both product lines. Retailers would be asked to sign in early 2027.
The lottery said it would bring a proposed 2027 contract before the Commission on 20 November 2026. The current agreement with retailers expires on 27 June 2027.
Beginning 27 June 2027, monthly line fees will be $175 for traditional retailers, $475 for video lottery retailers and $500 for retailers offering both product lines, according to the lottery. Lumen has been upgrading the lottery’s network connections to improve speed and reliability.
The lottery will recommend keeping current retailer commission rates. In 2020, it adopted a flat 8% commission on traditional lottery products and a tiered video commission based on dollars played. The lottery said those structures increased retailer compensation compared with previous rates.
If the contract is approved in December, retailers will be asked to sign it in early 2027. The lottery said retailers can watch or comment at Commission meetings where the contract will be discussed.
